Court

Court of First Instance

Case number

HCMA768/1998

The magistrate legitimately preferred the evidence of the Immigration Officer and interpreter and accepted the appellant's statement as establishing the true facts; the magistrate properly exercised discretion in refusing an adjournment because the foreign letter, even if produced, would not have undermined the accepted evidence, therefore the appeal fails.

• Use of false passport
• Representation to immigration officer
• Admissibility of statement
• Credibility findings
• Refusal to adjourn to admit late foreign evidence
